LMT is a maker of highend AR-15's that are about as good as you can get. Carbon-15 stuff is cheap plastic crap. To say it has a Carbon-15 upper AND lower says it can't be a LMT product. My guess is that the seller meant "lower". If the price was right, I might buy a LMT upper, then throw away the Carbon-15 lower in favor of something much better.

Just my opinion, but it seems like almost a crime to put anything Carbon-15 on an LMT product.

Carbon 15 is a bushmaster product. This sounds like someone that does not know what they have. Looks carefully. The Carbon 15 is a good entry level place to start. You can always upgrade the upper and lower later if you need to. It is still a plastic/composite material though.

For around $600-700 you can get a brand new Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport or a Palmetto State Armory AR-15. Both are excellent and they don't use any plastic parts. The PSA is pretty much mil-spec. No way I'd touch that franken gun with all the Carbon-15 parts. The price is just silly high. I'm also questioning whether LMT ever made a 1:9 twist barrel. I think not since their guns are all mil-spec and 1:9 was never a mil-spec standard.

I want you to know SD...you may have harmed someones feelings when you said Carbon-15 stuff is "cheap plastic crap".

For what it's worth, I appreciate all the input. It probably saved me from wasting money on a weapon that wasn't worth it. I will be the very first to admit that I know very little about AR's in general. My last military type issued weapons were the M1 Garand and the 1911 Colt so I'm pretty much and old fart. That being said, I just sold a model A pre ban IMI UZI semi auto and would like to replace it with a decent AR-15. Somewhere around $1000/$1400. any help would be appreciated.
